It seems that not many other fighters have picked up on the peek-a-boo style that made Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson. Is it only for certain type of fighters ala Tyson or is it just not as effective as the other styles?

You know, I've always thought Tyson's defense looked more effective than it actually proved to be.

Can't watch the entire clip. I'm on a work computer and my phone is struggling. The initial screen shot lloks to show one of Tyson's early victims. Do you think it would have held up against the calibre guys?

The peek a boo style takes tremendous amounts of energy to do over 12 rounds. Tyson was best at it and the movement was fantastic for both offense and defense. Like everything,there is a use by date. after that things go into decline.

Yes, Tyson started to get caught when he stopped caring and just tried to blast guys out punch for punch

Depends on the fighter i would guess. Vinny Pazienza trained with Rooney and didn't become a Mike Tyson.
